I was sitting on my bed with a picture book on my lap that has all memory of my every birthday in it. I was caressing every single pic as it held beautiful undeniable memories with my lovely friends and my eyes fixed on one pic it was him my so-called childhood crush Byun holding the coffee mug in his hand that he brought for me at the moment as he had forgotten that it was my birthday.
"Such a paboya." Next, to him, its was my best friend my darling Hani, One and the only person whom I loved and still love more than anything.
Many old memories were coming through pictures but for tomorrow I had no idea how I would survive at my birthday as Hani had already settled in abroad with his boyfriend Sehun and her brother Byun was out of the country as well regarding his shooting.
"This birthday is going to be boring no doubt."
I sighed put picture book aside laid back in the bed with arms crossed under my head after glaring at the ceiling for a while I sat up excitedly as my phone buzzed up with a notification in hope that someone might wish me.
"Dang..this is electric bill information...they have forgotten your birthday already Subi don't hope too much."
I threw my phone away on the table pulled my blanket over me with a broken heart and consoled myself. I could not sleep rolling in my bed hugging and punching my pillow at the same time. No one wished me its 12 past 20 min already.
Time skipped I stared at the clock that was striking 6 am and I spent my whole night in hope for their wishful texts but no one tried to make time for me.
I tied my messy hairs into a bun tucked my long bangs behind ears and left the bed. It's was really pleasant weather outside I watched across the window while sipping my coffee.
"So today lemme enjoy by myself. I will buy chocolate cake topping with strawberry."
This was so weird every year Hani used to bake me a cake but she was busy with her carrier so I could not blame her.
I showered and put on a knee-length champagne lace cap sleeve dress.
I was fixing my earnings but my phone intruded me with an unknown number I crinkled but picked up.
"Hello?..."
No one replied even though I repeated myself thrice.
"Yah!! Do you think I am free here for you?"
I shouted and tossed my phone angrily on the bed but again my phone buzzed up with a message.

"Happy Bday Love, you are looking gorgeous in this champagne  dress~"

It was so suspicious that someone was stalking me as that unknown person knows what I was wearing and I even hadn't stepped out from my room. I hurriedly watched across the window no one was around out of fear I closed my window.

"Should I report this person? No..it maybe someone known person that is pulling my leg as this person is aware that today is my bday. Should I text back and asked who are you?"

I sat on a chair in front of my dressing table shrugged and stared my own reflection in the mirror rested my chin on my palms.

Time skipped and I got no message or calls from unknown person so I ignored and promised myself not to ruin my mood at least today on occasion of my so-called birthday. 
I visited a cake bakery where a sweet smell was spreading across the shop and shop was decorated by different varieties of cakes like
Chocolate cake, cheesecake, mint cake, confetti cake, vanilla cake and lots of varieties but my search finished when I found my cream chocolate cake topped with a strawberry. I pointed shopkeeper to pack that one for me and she asked me to wait. I stood beside the table started tapping my feet out of boredom and crossed my arms while glaring at kids playing in a nearby park.
"Your order is ready miss."
She called me so I opened my hand bag to bring my credit card out to swap but I was stunned when she replied that payment had done. I again asked her to check but she said it was not a misunderstanding. Even she handed me a red rose with my order as my birthday gift.
It was weird who told her it was my birthday and who paid for cake so frustratedly I stepped out from bakery my phone buzzed up again with a message.

"Yur choice is still strawberry cake...yummy."

I was already angry and scared that someone was stalking me. I looked around but there were lots of people how I could know which one was following me and texting me so I decided to text back.

"Who r u? ...what do u want? Stop stalking me n u better come out."

But no one replied to my message I kicked the ground irritatedly and walked to my home back as I was not feeling safe around. I turned tv on put cake in the fridge sat on the couch with crossed legs with a pillow in my lap and finally Hani called me.

Hani: "Hey!! Whasss up babes how are you?"

Me: "Hani, I'm missing you."

Hani: "Aww...same here but its not possible to come this year hope I will be back next year."

Me: "Its ok, focus on your work."

Hani: "Yeah I gotta go baii."

Me: "Bye saranghae."

Call disconnected and I sighed that she even didn't remember that today was my birthday. I stretched my arms and leaned back to couch. Its evening and enough time for me to cut cake as I was getting bored so I brought out cake from fridge placed it on table and put candles on it. I was about to lit candles but electricity had gone. 

"Why??...how is even this possible?"

As electricity only could be interrupted when someone switched the main circuit off because I already paid and had a power supplier for emergencies. I gulped out of fear because I felt someone was standing behind me so I tried to run away but someone grabbed my hand it was so dark I was not able to see a single thing and I even could not scream because that person covered my mouth with a hand from behind. I could make sense that person was not a girl as his grasped was so tight and he could be a stalker who was stalking me around since morning. My heart was racing and the body was trembling out of fear and I was making an effort to be free.
He tied a cloth on my eyes, tied my hands as well and put tape on mouth and dragged me into his car forcefully.
"What is going on? I even don't have enemy why he is doing this to me? Am I going to die on my bday? Aniyaa...someone save me."
My head was blank and I had no idea what to do to save myself and he even hadn't said a single word to me and I could not see his face as my eyes were covered already.

******TIME SKIPPED********

After one hour finally, he stopped car but it was increasing my heart rate more and I was sweating out of fear my hands were shaking and I could hear slammed of car's door he gets off the car and slammed passenger seat's door too he pulled me out I had no clue where I was and who he was I was just praying for someone to recuse me.
He pushed me into a hall or house or something I didn't know and he untied my hands, pulled tape away from my mouth and removed the cloth from my eyes. I blinked my eyes but it was again dark so I could not see a single thing.
"Who are you? Why you brought me here?"
I gathered my courage to ask but he didn't reply and I was feeling so lost.
"Yaahhh!! Let me go."
I shouted.
Suddenly dark room filled with light and I covered my eyes for a moment as dazzle was hurting my eyes because of I spent last hours in dark.
"Surpriseeeeeee!!!!"
A familiar voice echoed across the room so I opened my eyes and my guess was right it was Hani in front of me with confetti in her hands and Sehun with a birthday card. I looked around this was  Hani's house and it was decorated with purple, white balloons and fringe all around. I was truly surprised that my friends reminded my birthday but scared me to death. I ran towards Hani and hugged her and tears from our eyes ran down to our cheeks.
"I thought you have forgotten my bday."
"Never in this life, silly." She tightens her grasp.
"Are you guys gonna stop? time is running lets cut cake."
Sehun intruded so Hani glared at him and he bit his lips. They both were cute.
"Sehun...you scared me to death today and  You can be a good kidnapper."
I said while holding Hani's arm.
"No, noona..it was not me."
He denied and lit candles.
"Look behind babes..."Hani turned me behind.
My eyes were widened as my crush was standing and brushing his fingers in his hairs with a little smile on his lips and my cheeks turned red I tried to look away.
I was with Byun all the time and what the hell I could not recognise him so embarrassing I shouted at him too but its not my fault they all were supposed to be out of country.
" Come cut cake noona, I am hungry. " Sehun said.
I cut cake that was backed by my sweetheart Hani and they start singing.
"Happy birthday to you."
I was feeling lucky person on earth at the moment and whole house was echoing with our laughter.
